Hi all,
I was looking around to buying myself a moto 360, But I really only want one with a metal band. However it looks like currently only the US can get the metal band option and here in the UK we are stuck with just the leather option. Has anyone heard anything about a potential release date for the UK?
Thanks
I'd be happy seeing actual stock come into stores regardless of the band they come with so if it's anything like the actual launch we're probably going to be waiting some time for stock to begin to come in volume so it can be distributed to stores and so on other than Motorola's site.
I just got an email now saying there available
Hit Thanks if I Helped
-_-NAMELESS ROM 1+1-_-

Ah right, on the UK motorola store they are still showing up with only the leather band option, Maybe they are a little slow in updating
I gave up waiting and bought the black Pebble Steel band, fits perfectly and looks good
Although it does catch the hairs on my arm a bit...

...and it will crack the back of your watch pretty quickly. You need a Motorola band, it has a special design to avoid cracking and also looking better by avoiding the "hockey puck" look.

I've had it for nearly four weeks now and it's not cracked. I'm still waiting on the Moto ones, though, as I do prefer OEM
I've had it on for over 8 weeks.....no cracks here.....[emoji4] [emoji4]

I went on HTC's website and the dimensions changed, now it says its 16.65 mm thick, before it said it was like 17.1 mm thick, does this mean that other spec changes could happen too? (Well actually they probably could but I doubt they will) But its still great that its a little thinner now, now its thinner than a G1 or Xperia X1
Clove's description says it has FM tuner, I hope this is correct.
Well at least it's something positive
HTC's website says its only 16.65 mm thick, but where they are selling it on Clove, it says 17.25 mm thick. Which one to believe....
16.65, 17.25mm. Does 0.6mm really matter?
True enough HTC has changed it's specs. Thinner is better of course. That is 0.6mm thinner. Will that be because they took the Radio Chip out? That is a bad trade off if it is. 0.6mm is not really noticeable.

LOL now that you mention it, that is probably why its thinner
I would much rather have it be the same thinness as before and have a radio than to make it a little thinner and to lose such a nice feature, maybe other than the fact that it saves them money they did it to even out the diamond 2 and it a little.

I saw that photo before and it was posted after our discovery about the change of sepcs on HTC's website. The photo was a relief but no one else have proven the radio afterward. But I hope that photo was correct by any means.
should be receiving mine tomorrow with luck, just received shipping notification, and as i'm so excited i probably won't sleep i'll do tomorrows work tonight and then get to play all day i'll let you know what i can find on it.
Well no radio so far found, the stylus has a distinct metal feel to it and the device does turn on when you take it out.
So far i am very impressed the grill onthe back i guess is for battery cooling as the speakers are only at the top , g-sensor all works fine and stuff unfortuntly am connecting to internet via work currently so can't post pictures or anything but if anyone has any requests for info i will check as often as i can.

Three lights are located at the top center of transparent piece. so it should light up front and back evenly.
Went to T-Mobile, AT&T and Verizon retail stores today looking for a universal case that would hold this device and none of them had one!
This cannot possibly be the only 5" device on the market. Pathetic selection. What kind of business model doesn't have accessories to support the devices they provide?

I totally agree with what you say and unfortunately we have to wait till it becomes more avaiblable in the US. If we were in Europe or else where it would be easier.
All the stores like ATT tMobile, etc. in the US are garbage and useless. Unfortunately this is how it is here.

Nimche, you don't know how it is here in Brazil... Hahaha. Anyway, yes, having no support on a product you bought... really sucks.
I had one of the FEW Sony Ericsson Satio that were sold in Brazil, and trust me... A Nissan Pathfinder went over it, and the cellphone was still working perfectly, but obviously over asphalt the screen got cracked... There was NO Sony Ericsson retailers that had the screen, and only to fix it, it'd cost me 1/3 of the price of the device...
Anyways, I'm receiving a hard case from Handtec with my order. You can get the hard case here: handtec.co.uk/product.php/6407/sony-xperia-s-shell-case---black

Yes, I feel what you say as well. No wonder here in the US people like to get iPhone alot because you go to store and buy the darn thing with all the accessories you want and even WindowsMobile you could go to MS store and get it but Sony with all the power it has is like Sh*t. You go to store, you find the most useless people on the planet to work there, they have no clue what they are selling and no information of what is coming. Every time I go there, I have to surprise them with new Sony's technology.
That hard case is like the original Sony branded (website didn't fully work) but I think Clove at UK and Expansys USA will start selling them too Expansys USA
I like the blue one tho.

Ok i see what they were going for, but let me be the first to say that looks ****ing retarded.
I've seen one of those Draco cases on an iPhone. They're pretty unique, although I'm not sure they're worth the $80.
I bought this one on Amazon a few days ago, I have not received it yet.

I couldn't agree more. I bought my One because it is simply the best looking and engineered phone I have ever seen. I don't want to hide it. But I'm not content to wait on the Poetic Borderline case, and that Dracowhatever looks like a joke. I've been looking, haven't really seen any other bumper cases. Anybody else?

Ah...I was a KS backer for the steel, unfortunately, I could not test them out because I jumped to the LG G Watch and now the Moto 360 lol. Glad you are opting to help with this! My only gripe is that the it took quite a bit of time due to delays beyond SC's control. But that's pretty much Kickstarter right there isn't it? lol

Where did you see that? This is kickstarter so it'll probably a month at least (barring any delays in the process) from launch. I really don't think they are fronting the cash to make a min batch. Unless they still have cash left over from the pebble steelconnect campaign. lol

Hi @kpjimmy, Its nice to see you again, so you went for Moto360 ya : ) Yea we did face challenges from our previous manufacturer, and it cause us a few months delay. Lesson learn! This is a very valuable experience we had and we believe it is good. Not only we learn how to handle manufacturer, its about the whole supply chain and management skill from the very beginning of the campaign until we finally shipped it out. We are back this time more prepared with three manufacturer in hand. Will definitely looking for more backups XD. We feel excited too :laugh:

Hi @SamDeKyro. Good day! It will definitely simplify the way you change your strap. There is two way you can do, either you get a strap with quick release or just use a 1mm pin to remove from the quick release lug whole lug of SteelConnect M. In addition it will reduce your chances of scratching your Moto360 everytime you change it. Cheers!

Hi GTiceman, Yes you could always opt for the Nato or Zulu straps, however you need to sacrifice the function of heart rate sensor. We do have some tricks which could help some of you with smaller hand to still use your heart rate sensor while having nato strap on board. Everything is flexible, stay tune XD

Hi @nonmindo. We do have the same concern, and thats the first intention of making SteelConnect M. Moto 360 lug just allowed straps that are below 3.5mm thickness, so there is a little constrain there. We do see that some of the fans out there manage to get some 3rd party strap that looks cool; but if your choice of strap are more than 3.5mm, we can help you . There is more possibilities that you could think of. Cheers!

Kickstarter is basically a platform for people to pledge funds to support a project. Just head to the Kickstarter website and have a look at their FAQ. Example: https://www.kickstarter.com/help/faq/backer+questions?ref=faq_nav#BackAProj
I believe that Steelconnect has yet to create the project in Kickstarter for the Moto 360 adaptor. Just be patience, and wait for him to tell us know once the project has been started. I'm waiting too.

Could you consider abandon KickStarter and straight go for pre-order ? That way we could get it much sooner, and you may batch produce for lower cost
Dear all,
as some of you know, SteelConnect has recently launched an accessory (the M180 and M225) that reduces the risk of backcracking of the Moto 360 while also making it easier to switch bands.
However, I and several other people love the idea but I don't really like the gap between the device itself and the curve of the M180.
I sent them a mail and they told me they were open to suggestions and were willing to listen to other ideas if it got enough support.
At the time of posting this poll, there are already over 160 votes on Google Plus.
Make sure to also head there to click on the options.
Thats what this is for: I would like to know how many of you would love a similar concept to this, but with a downward facing slope. So instead of going along with the body of the 360, leading to the gap, I would suggest a paperclip shape.
What do you think? Make sure to leave your feedback here or in the G+ discussion
PS: Thanks for participating guys. I am sure that if we reach, let's say 200 people who'd be willing to buy it, Steelconnect will do it. They were pretty happy with the results so far. Great company!
I think I'd like to get the one I already ordered in hand before thinking about another product from them.

So i'm not 100% on this but what is the point of the M225 vs the M180? In the pictures it looks like the M225 would be for smaller wrists vs M180 for larger wrists. Am I seeing that correctly?
